[Openmcl-devel] [Newbie] Problems using release 0.14-031220 with Slime

Hello,

I have problems getting OpenMCL to run with Slime on Panther.
When I try to start Slime-Mode in Emacs, the error attached below  
occurs.

I posted this problem to comp.lang.lisp and got the following reply:

 >Looks like the cdb files (interface definitions for foreign functions)
 >are missing.  You can get them here:
 >http://openmcl.clozure.com/Distributions/openmcl-release-0.14 
-031220.html

I could not figure out, how to get them. I thought they should be  
included in the binary release?!

(I know, being relatively new to Lisp and having never understood to  
handle the Unix  command line, I maybe should not use an alpha-release.  
But I thought, I should use it anyway, because 0.13 is older than  
Panther.)

Please help me!

Chris

Type :? for other options.
